Any recommendations for newsletters pertaining to typical Hacker News interests, e.g. programming, start-up business, cybersecurity, technology, gaming, etc.?

  I subscribe to several of their newsletters, and they're all good: https://cooperpress.com/publications/ https://cooperpress.com/publications/

    Thanks for recommending us, folks. If it helps, they're mostly edited by HN readers too(!) (me in most, but not all, cases).

It's a bit more general-readership, but I find Kevin Kelley's Recomendo [1] newsletter useful. It's lightweight and doesn't require much time to read. Maria Popova’s Brain Pickings [2] newsletter is arts/literature oriented, well produced, and full of insights - but often quite long.

I love Brain Picking, although unfortunately I feel that her articles have a certain sort of "sameness" to them. I love long-form reading. Personally I feel that encouraging long-form reading is important. I disagree that reducing the attention of time required to read is the answer.

google for „<topic> weekly newsletter“. i am subscribed to about 10 topics i am interested in at any time and do receive useful information. Sometimes they are in my inbox for weeks and i read them all at once when i am for example on the train

I am working on one for engineering. Goal is so send no more than every two weeks and just keep quality bar super high. First issue is up at https://buriedreads.com/2019/01/19/how-computing-came-about-part-1/ https://buriedreads.com/2019/01/19/how-computing-came-about-...

I just launched Digital Future Friday [0]. It’s a once a week roundup + analysis about AI, automated propaganda, synthetic influencers, AR/VR and internet culture. My wife forces me to keep it really short, and I just hired an awesome illustrator to add some visual love. My perspective comes from being the CMO of a unicorn, curious about the underbelly of the internet and human mind.

I think someone wrote an HN email digest. You could get a weekly email with top posts that week ... I don't recall the name
